Every time I look at this little girl, I thank God for the measure of health she has been given so far in her young life even with the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Ella has been our joy and delight, and we pray that she will have many more years of health and that despite the naysayers that a cure will be found for this genetic disorder.
Right now at Duke University Hospital, there is a young woman fighting for her life along with her newborn daughter. Tricia, who has CF, had been preparing for a double lung transplant when it was discovered she was pregnant. This week because of her weakened condition, her baby was born by C-section at 24 weeks. Gwyneth Rose is doing remarkably well despite her premature state. Tricia is still sedated and has not awakened yet.
People around the world are praying for this family. Visit Tricia's husband's blog, see this tiny infant, and join in prayers for this family.

I was not aware that sweet Ella had CF. I prayed for her right then after I read it.
I will now visit the link you provided and pray for Tricia and her baby.
Ella is an absolute doll!
Thanks for the link.
I'll pray.
Your little Ella is growing into such a darling little girl. What a treasure she is.
My prayers will join with the others in asking for a cure and in asking for help for Tricia and her family.
I'm praying for all of us! Thanks for posting this. It just confirms my belief that there are so many more beautiful and kind people out there, than not. xoxo

The sparkle in Ellas eyes and her smile are so precious. I pray for her continued good health.
I could hardly read the other post about Tricia and Gweneth through my puddley eyes. I promise to keep them in prayer too and to check on the progress of the family.
